The chase for the 2016 European Cup will take its next step on Sunday. Two teams attempting to qualify for the tournament will do battle in a match between Ukraine and Macedonia.

Macedonia head coach Bosko Gjurovski had this to offer following Macedonia's 3-2 victory over Luxembourg on Thursday (via UEFA): "Firstly, I want to congratulate my players on the win. We dedicate this victory to the tragically deceased [former Macedonia goalkeeper] Petar Milosevski. The second-half substitutes changed the game, which was my intention. Especially Besart Abdurahimi."
"Regarding the injuries to Daniel Mojsov and Muhamed Demiri, who collided, the decision is up to the medical staff and we also have an injury to Agim Ibraimi who I had to bring off," he added. "We should be pleased with the way we got the three points, with courage and real determination. On Sunday against Ukraine, I have to say that we will play in the same way-offensively and as always trying to do our best."
